The 2002 Honda Civic DX is the base trim of the seventh-generation Civic, offering a straightforward, economical driving experience that made it a favorite in the compact car segment. Powered by a 1.7-liter 4-cylinder engine producing about 115 hp, its paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, delivering excellent fuel economy (around 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway) that appeals to commuters and budget-minded drivers.
The DXs design emphasizes simplicity: standard features include basic cloth seats, an AM/FM radio, power steering, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, and intermittent wipers, with few luxury or tech amenities, keeping the MSRP and ownership costs low.
In terms of practicality, the DX accommodates five passengers with a comfortable, if modest, interior and solid cargo space for its class, making it suitable for daily errands and long highway drives alike.
Safety equipment on the DX was basic by modern standards, with dual front airbags as standard and optional side airbags or ABS on some configurations, reflecting typical early-2000s compact car offerings.
While it lacks modern driver-assist technologies, its straightforward setup makes maintenance and repairs easier and more affordable compared with newer vehicles.
Owner sentiment and long-term reliability have generally been positive, with many examples lasting well beyond 200,000 miles when properly maintained, though some surveys and recalls note age-related issues and the importance of thorough service history when buying used.
Overall, the 2002 Civic DX remains a practical choice for those seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient compact car with low cost of ownership, though todays used buyers should weigh condition and maintenance history carefully given its age.
